Joajoa, need to work very hard …becos coming upper the compo will be upon 40…

[joajoa]

So far, I think my P3 only wrote 4 compositions in school (2 each for Chinese & English). I find there is insufficient practice/ preparation for the students to do well in the upcoming SA. It is not easy to write because given only a small tiny picture, students need to be really imaginative to be able to come up with a decent plot. At least, I find the 4 pictures type is easier as it somehow provides a step-by-step guide for the younger writers. I am totally clueless how to prepare him for the SA, especially the Chinese composition. Marking is very strict and worse, there is no feedback on how to improve. :?:

[joajoa]

Yes I agree that marking is very strict .

My child doesn't like to read story book at all , thus compo writing is very weak .

Teacher just keep giving them example of what the good students in class wrote . And ask them copy . One of my child homework is to coy the whole compo that teacher wrote .

I m so stress now . The compo is sure going to pull down the marks badly

joajoa, Not sure if it p4/p5 to upon 40. But this is psle format to upon 40…so very soon it will be.


precious2.lee, follow the requirement from school for chinese…write a few conversation, describe the feelings of the ppl inside the pics…But do not write out of the pic, cos no marks will be given. In general for chinese compo, if write half to 3 quarter page its 12marks, 1page 12-15marks…1.5 to full 2 page can get 17-20marks…thats my observation so far for P3.

But i must emphasize that for chinese compo, i really noticed a bulk of kids in my ds class is scoring at 18-20/20. It is less strict for chinese compo, so easier to score marks…

For English, I find it really strict for P3…I find sch teach limited, but expect so much. ​Last yr, P3 SA2 model compo given out to the kids…I was horrified to find 2 compos have "EXACT" same words for the intro…and another 2 compo hv very similar ending…​I wished the teachers had been more careful in selecting model compos, it just made parents like me…puzzling which tuition center is the work from…haiz

At P3, those had tuition in languages will shine with their written compo…a big difference for beginner vs those that hv been writing for the past yrs.

by the way, this issue with high expectation of compos is not limited to PCPS. It occur to every sch.​ Some may ask for even higher std than PCPS.
